    How does that panel come out after removing the radio, I figured it would just come right out but looked like it was getting caught on the cluster surround panel and passenger dash panel

    All that just to install a damn switch for my ditch lights. And then I come realize the LEDs on the switch don't function properly. The switch still turns my relay on and off, but the "on" led is always on. I'll never order from air on board again. 2nd switch from them that has had problems. :frusty:

    There is no interference on the passenger side but you do have to partially pull out the facia around the cluster. Just enough to get the panel out. It pops right out just like everything else up there.

    Dude, its a mess back there from the factory! Wire management does not seem to be Toyota's strong point! I filled up my last blank spot so hopefully it's the last time I have to tear that crap apart..... :rolleyes:

    What were you adding?

    It's such a PITA back there. I'm getting a whole switch rack next, and then wiring it all up first thing. Even if they're not wired to anything. Fuck dealing with it one at a time! A good friend just convinced me to go this route, and he was right! :thumbsup:

    I'm not sure yet. I'll probably make one my self and just buy the individual switches. I've got about half a dozen other things I know I need to wire up, but don't have a set place they are going to go. Got any ideas?
